"Mom? Mom? MOM?!" Kroger Mother's Day commercial
Permalink   


I am so glad Mother's Day is behind us now.

If I had heard that stupid "ad" on the intercom one more time I would have stabbed my pen into my ear canals just to keep from hearing it again.

Our store must have run that stupid 'commercial' multiple times a day, it was one of the only ones I couldn't tune out because the audio on it almost made it sound like some kid was calling for his mother in the aisle over or behind me, depending where I was in the store and how the stupid thing echoed!

Yes that one drove me nuts as well.  Now if we could just get rid of the Forever Stamps from the US Postal Service.

That commercial made me never want to have children.


And now there's some stupid lady demonstrating a product so for the last 5 days every few minutes all we hear is HEAD TO THE BOOTH WITH THE ORANGE AND BLACK BANNER, LOCATED AT THE FRONT OF THE STORE, BETWEEN AISLES 9 AND 10, FOR YOUR FREE GIFT! IF YOU WANT TO GET IN ON THIS *RARE AND UNIQUE* OPPORTUNITY.......

kill me now if i have to hear that again tomorrow.

 Good lord, that is always the worst.  Always giving away junk.  Haven't seen them in about a year.

 They're doing that at our store too.  The worst part is they're making the announcements using the intercoms in our department.   Whenever they start to make an announcement, I make fun of them.  I told them point blank it's stupid they way they talk (pausing after every third word).  There's just something about the whole thing that comes across as a bit shady.

I love it because it gets in the way of the front end being able to call for surge help while the announcements are being made. I wish these people would come to our store every day, all day.

Thank god, they tore down that display last night. If I had to deal with that for the sixth day in a row I would have gone insane.

The way that lady said "Ladies and Gentlemen..................... may i have your attention........please" creeped me out after a while.

 That happened at the store i was at about a month ago. Every several hours or so they would pick up the phone that was near the cooler for dairy and run their announcement. It is funny to hear them stress that, "these products are not being sold in stores and as a promotion their are handing out samples to people in our store." Even funner to see them try to get people excited about their product when people came to see what they had

 Not connected to this subject at all..but I found out today that your store is our sister store. Our inclusion committee will go have a meeting at your store and vice versa. I really hope you have fun people on your inclusion committee!!

Well sadly I'm not on it :( I'm not sure who all is in the inclusion team but you'd probably love the pharmacy guy who's on ours. He's like most energetic guy ever and comes up with all our events and everything :P Are you in it?

I might be in your store next week sometime actually, if I go where I think I will on my vacation. I'm going to look for your picture on the manager wall >:D

I didn't know there was a such thing as sister stores but that is really cool.

 I heard he's an absolute hoot. I am on the inclusion committee, that's the only way I can get pharmacy included in anything. They always forget about us.

 

My picture is not on the manager wall, they don't include pharmacy....again, always leaving us out! 

Don't drink the water if you come up my way, it's still blooming!
